Hi,

I have a procedure which is exporting data to a HTML table (HTML Page). When I print the page using ( File -> Print ), I am not getting the same look and feel on paper. Even the "Print Preview" also does not show the same look and feel.

Any solutions?

Thanks

several things you can do, Antony.
first, if you are using GRID,
then you can make it quieter by displaying your output in an HTMLFORM
TABLE FILE CAR
..do stuff
ON TABLE HOLD AS MYTAB FORMAT HTMTABLE
END
-RUN
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
table {border-collapse:collapse;}
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
!IBI.FIL.MYTAB;
</BODY>
</HTML>
-HTMLFORM END

..then you can make adjustments to your default browser settings. And encourage your uses to do so , as well.
For example,
Tools/InternetOptions/Advanced/Printing
CHECK the box 'Print background colors and images'
This change makes your grid (etc) very gentle, greyscale, instead of just loud black on white.

..then also from your browser
File/PageSetup and erase all the default stuff in Header and Footer..you might want to leave the time stamp, but certainly nuke the URL.

Hi Susannah,

Thanks for your reply. Since I am using some classes (CSS) files in this report, the print out is not same as what I see on screen.

Let me know, if you have any other suggestion.

Thanks

HTML for browser, PDF for printing, EXCEL for data manipulation is what should be standard.

However, you could set up your CSS to have media-specific styles - one section for browser, one section for print.
